hear me out. these last 2 years i've stockpiled a bunch of unfinished illustration piece s of my characters with a lot of potential. so here's my ideathis december we take a 1 month pause on comics and i finish and deliver about 16 high resolution illustrations here split between tiers. 5 for tier 1, mostly sunstone focused

8 for tier 5 and 3 more for tier 6

now, while this is something i'd love to do, it is still your support that keeps me afloat so i would prefer this to be something we agree on. i will post a poll for this and will only move forward with the idea if most of you agree on it, like 85% and up. if not, it's comics business as usual :)anyhow , poll coming next month, till then lemme know what you think about the idea. oh, and that halloween pic of ally and alan, that's coming this month. i just put it there cause it makes me happy XD

Yay great, I love those illustrations.

Jeremy

Yesyesyes. I want to see whatever you love doing.

Online Over

Love this idea!! If it’s not too much to ask, could you make some of them in a ultra wide (21:9) format? Thank you Stjepan for sharing all your beautiful art and stories!

Maz Moore

I mean like i am def here for the comics, but I love all the art and well Halloween is MY holiday of the year so I always love that shit and like your tiers are very reasonably priced even for just doing random awesome splashes but like totally want more stuff with Clara and Sam and Mia

Luis Benitez

The illustrations are a great idea! I also know you don't have the time, but the idea of what else you may have lying around makes me want a sketchbook even more

Nizing

I say do illustrations which will help recharge creative juices, then explode with comic narrative creativity

Tabitha Viselli

I love all arts. If you need on break, go for it. Looking forward to whenever next updates. 😊

Peter Rasmussen

Sounds like a great idea. Comics will always be there, this sounds like a chance to see something unique stuff

Max502

You Da Man S.S. ! You do what you need to do! It's all great!

Britta Hoyer

I love your calendar, so keep going, I would buy it. I am happy when you are following your creative ideas, that got always the best results, amazing stories and creative illustrations. I'll stay with my tier as long as I can and I am happy to support you this way, because the world is a better place, when it includes your art.

Erin Sayers

More pretty pics!! What more can we ask for?

Makenz

Sounds good, I’d love to see some of these finished!

Step Zero Creations

You get a break from full comics, I get pretty art. Sounds perfect to me. I'll keep shoving money your way every month.

Mikael

Awesome idea.

Chagrins

Ooo! Exciting! :D I do love the art, so shut up and take my money!

Jeff Cauley

Ya know, I come here for the art. If the art is comics, awesome! If the art is stand alone images that you want to finish making, also awesome! Do what you prefer cuz that usually means we get to see the coolest art.

Mondo Gibbs

Please do, would be super awesome

Zoltanina

I suggested a similar thing about your fanart over on instagram. You didn't see it, so I'm really glad you got the idea yourself. Go for it 🖤♥️

shiniebezial

ugh don't get me started with instagram. damned thing sometimes randomly locks me out of my own posts so there are literally posts of my own that i can't open or read messages on both on my pc and my phone. everyone else can tho

Nika

I say go for it! 👍 You do what makes you happy and that makes us happy. 😎 Also, speaking for myself, you don't really have to pause the Patreon.

Zoltanina

I have mixed feelings about the way you split this over the tiers, though. I am tier two with gritted teeth because I'm actually not really having the money. Most of the artists I follow use Patreon as a bit more of an anti-capitalist tool. Everyone pays what they can and people chipping in more do get more, but it's hardly ever in proportion to the money difference. Those who can, partly subsidy those who just don't have it. You being an artist who formerly put all of his artwork on deviantart makes it feel even stranger to know that a lot of people are not going to be able to see two thirds of the illustrations (if I got that correctly?). I do get it, it's common market logic and it's totally your call, but I wouldn't mind to just get higher res images than tier 1 or wips or something.

Grace Prendergast

pro that! something new, and it gives you some time during the holidays i feel! you deserve it, and we’ll love the new art in the process!

Travis Smith

Said it on Twitter and I'll say it here: Sounds mighty good to me.

Selebus

Sounds like a great idea for december, it will almost be like an advent calendar with illustrations 😊

Barou

Love it. Prevents you from keeling over due to overload.

Paul Johnston

Go for it man, your art pieces are what got me to notice you in the first place.

Alexander Gordon

Do whatever it is you will enjoy and let you be creative. I support you as the artist in whatever works for your creativity.

Ordalia

Go for it ! We'll enjoy new content as much as you enjoy delivering it, be it new comics or full illus o/

Norbert Gartus

Go for it!! I'm especially lookin' forward to the HiRes 🎃 special!

Freddie

Personally speaking both options are good. Whatever gives you the most fun to make is what is what I’d like, because you make your best stuff when your vibing with it. I’d love to see more illustrations though.

Edem

As I said earlier: for me, Patreon is not a specific comic subscription; I use it to support you so you can do what you want and like to do, even if it's to take a month break to rest. After all, that's what results in the best of your work anyway, so it's really a win-win situation.

SunWho

That sounds like a great idea. It also sounds like a cool way to get your creative juices going and try out/work with some different colour pallettes. Looking forward to it.

Carsten Immel

Yes, it is a great idea. And I’ll second, what Adam Ladanyi wrote in his post about it not being a subscribtion.

Adam Ladanyi

The price difference between the tiers are relatively small. While I am aware that it adds up over the months, do you think it would be affordable to increase the tier for one month, see the extra images, and then go back to the "usual" level for the subsequent months? (Also, you are making a point on why should people who support more get access to more stuff, and the counterpoint is why not?)

Love the idea! <3

Devon King

I yearn for chaos and if December delivers unexpected variations of your art routine there would be only delight in me.

Blazehoof

I'm fine with either, so whatever make you excited :)

BadBadMegatron

Have you ever thought of designing this Latex and/or bdsm stuff for real?

Benny Henning

Sounds great. Looking forward to the Halloween special and the rest of the HiRes. And yeah I see patreon exactly like Adam Ladanyi said it. It's not a subscription, more giving you money so you can do what you love, if it comes with awesome content even better for me, if not also great. I think you create awesome things and I love that you can do it more freely with this awesome community that supports you and your work.

MariaEffe

For me, supporting you on patreon doesn't mean I get to decide what you should do. You have so much fun when you create your artworks, and that's what makes it special. That is the main reason I really love your art. So, just do what makes you happy!

Leak

So this means we might finally get a finished throne piece from you? GO GO GO!!1 :)

Josephine Baird

This sounds like a great idea. I especially love the "Letters from the Vampire Queen" pieces. I would love to see how those come out. And the rest. Like many here have said, am here to support you as an artist so in general always for supporting following your instincts on this

Philip Leadbitter

Love this idea. Would be totally happy to see this done

Gleth

I would absolutely *love* to see December happen like this. Others have already said the "Patreon's not a subscription" thing better than I can, so I'll just add my +1 here ready for the poll.

Pat Sanger

Sure. I'm good with it

Anonymous

Yes, yes, yes! Go for it, I wanna see that stuff finished!! :-D

Elisa Miggiano

I'm on it! I really love your art and for me Patreon is a support for *all* your art, not only for the comics that I love. Plus, I really want the "Letters from the Vampire Queen" becoming my new wallpaper. I really love all the "Carmilla" stuff. Is my favorite story of all.😍😍😍

Niall Teasdale

I am not seeing a problem. Sounds good.

TecnoSmurf

Yesyes! Pictures gooood. ^^

Von Random

Artists and writers and any other kind of creative people do best when they do what they want, not what someone else tells them. So you go ahead and do whatever you want man. Considering how great your art and writing are, I don't think anyone will be disappointed.

Lisza

Personally, I'm far more into story content - but I'd also say that dude, you do what you need to keep yourself creatively-and-or-life fulfilled. One month to do what you like is really okay. It's far more important that you do what you like so that you're happy with what you do (so that you can do it sustainably) than whatever "the people" want.

Brian Byrnes

Do it... Break the curse and finish the Throne Pieces

Corey Booth

Oh hell yah I am all for this

Ni Drehmann

I’m down with it ❤️❤️

awr74

That’s easy…hell yes! It’s a nice mixup and personally I’d love to see some of those pieces finished!!

Robert

Yes please

Lukas

Honestly I'd really really really love you to do that :3

Arts Eklektos

oh that sounds nice! I'm sure the characters would like to have working feet and hands too :)

Derek Elsberry

Sounds like a great idea - I'll be voting "Yes!" on the poll.

Ted Van Roekel

Sounds fun. Also, I hope it would give you a little more time to enjoy the holidays, whichever (if any) you celebrate.

Nimrod009

*produces implausibly/humorously oversized megaphone* ... YES PLEASE!!... and thank you, in advance 😁

Dave G

Yes, definitely yes

Schamannie

Yes please all of them! 😍 Especially the fine print and sunstone arts

Koralie13

That would be awesome!

Michael James

I'd be down for this. You provide so much content that a month with different art would be awesome.

Belbe

I want you to be able to do whatever you want and be happy while you do it. I love your content!

Anya

Yes.

Grace

i love that idea!

Mariana Gualano

Sure, I love to follow the stories you're writing. But I'm here to support your work no matter what shape or form so you can create freely. I'll be happy to get whatever you're interested in working on.

Thomas Mertens

Newbie here that hasn't started reading the comics yet, is up for the idea of just gorgeous pictures.

NoNameC

I'm not really into the idea.

NoNameC

Unless you're streaming some of it :D love love seeing your process on the big pieces and learn so much from you each time

SpyderArachnid

I love any and all of your work, comics and just illustrations alike. That's why I'm your Patreon lol. So I'm all up for it if that is what you want to do. There's a lot of your unfinished work (or older pictures) that I'd love to see completed. So yeah, I'd love this. :)

Tara

Sounds like a lot of fun to me - especially if we can get a Leliah/Heureca one! Love those 2 dorks.

Kevin

I'm fine with the idea -- it has the added bonus of giving you a break around the holidays, too, I'd imagine.

Dale Barnes

Sounds like a good idea. Some stand alone pieces outside of the regular to get an idea of what's bouncing around in your head!

Tanya

I'm fine with it. I love your illustrations as well.

Art of HiSS

As much as I love the comics, I would definitely want to see some finished pieces. I say go for it!

Desi

I'm down for it. All your content is so good. It's why I'm here to support it all.

Megan Derr

All content is good content. We support so you can create, howsoever you do that!

Allan Bednar

I prefer comics, but if you need a change for a month, that's cool. I'd love to watch your streams but can never catch them. Could you let us see them as twitch recordings? Or post here 24 hrs before you go on twich or youtube? Would be really welcomed, thanks if you do.

Sheri Spangenberg

Sounds like fun. I love the comics but i'm fine with a break if it means more pretty high res art :)

Zen

My friend this is both a break you deserve and an easy way to keep your hand busy. I would support you still if you said you just wanted to take December off. Nothing wrong with that especially since it's one of the biggest holiday months of the year. Take your time and recharge and be with your family.

Joel Berger

There are at least a few of those that I'd love to see hi-res, roll the dice that those ones are in my tier I guess :)

Hopps

Aw yes! I'd love to see more illustrations!

DahDee2KOA

Go for it! I love your single page illustrations! It's what drew me to you in the first place a million years ago on Deviant Art when you were still pretending to be two different artists (which i, and a million other people, never bought for a second). Doooo iiiiiiit

Travis Kraemer

Yes, please do finish up these images. I much much prefer quality over quantity! A Shieldmadiens Calendar would be awesome!

Maybe, maybe not

I started supporting you here so you could do whatever you creatively felt like doing whenever you wanted to do it. If this is what you want to spend your month doing then absolutely do go ahead and do it. You have my $6 and I look forward to the results.

Don Walsh

All the art! This is a fantastic idea, and I have no issue pausing on story for wonderful art pieces

Eleon Silent

High Quality Art work. Sounds like a good idea for a month :)

HrmJJ

I love reading your comics. And you constantly overdeliver! Please do the things you are excited about doing. We are here for the ride!

Atalis14

Yes please "finish it" (as it's said in "the fountain" by a cute Ghost) and take a little breath for you, you génius Uberworkaholic (is it a word ?🤔) 😖

Seigmann

We know the comics will come along sooner or later. Personally, I'd absolutely LOVE to see some of these pictures finished.

Atalis14

every worlds he helped to create would be even more awesome !...and probably easier 😖 😅

Death of Ink

I like this plan, it's a good plan!

Brian Byrnes

It'd be amazing if you turned some of the finished pieces into prints on an inprint store or something

Marto Illustration

Illustrations sound AWESOME! I'm planning on moving, so I need new posters for my now house :)

Temperjoke

I would be absolutely fine with this!

Bowman

I concur, your work is always worth the wait.

DnD Must Haves

Really wished we could have another calendar but I totally understand that it a little to fragile for shipping

Agenwor

Go for the illustration, you made me curious

Limikin

Yes! Finally!

Angelo Pampalone

I love the idea but I wanna the calendars pictures too!

Anya and Michael

Sounds like a break from the regular comics work might also be good for you, so if you like this idea, I'm on board ;-)

DeLennui

love the idea!, maybe some of the old poison ivy prints will be there 👀👀

Bara J.

Great idea, you have my vote definitelly!

Sappho82

The last one with Ally bringing her strap game 👀👀👀👀 lawd have mercy 🙏🙏🙏 my eyes have been blessed 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🙌🙌 so much yes

Alex Pendragon

I'm surprised you haven't put together an independent art book with all these illustrations. I'd throw money at that.

Ezirao

Yes please all the things. xD

Neraced

To quote most people's favorite Starfleet captain: "Make it so!" :-)

blank stare

Love it! Sounds like we'd be getting a Stjepan coffee table art book for Christmas!

Kieran Delmain

what if you did it like an advent calendar leading up to Christmas releasing one image a day........

Joshua Wolfe

You finish a throne pic. I'll believe it when I see it. You got a pretty big queue of unfinished stuff. Sounds like a fun idea.

Hal Bowman

That’s a great idea to refresh during the holidays!

I prefer comics, but I am also completely good with you having a breather month/doing what you want!

shiniebezial

oh i want to do comics more as well but it's one of those situations where you look back at the unfinished stuff and face the harsh reality that you should clean that plate first XD

Ash Erlin

I think it's a great "break", something to shift gears for a while! All for it!

Lo

This feels like a great build up to an official stjepan 2022 print calendar… do people still use those? Lol

Shaz

I'm here because I'd feel too guilty always getting your amazing work eventually for free. I mostly follow you here (and elsewhere) for the comics (because I really enjoy your stories and characters!), but I fully support this choice. Do what you'd love to do- I'm sure I'll love it, too!

Gaele Blanchette

Sounds like fine idea and I'm all for it 😁

LordoftheMoths

Hi there, new patreon here. Yes, I'd absolutely love to see some hi-res art instead of comics. I only clicked on a full size version yesterday and it's absolutely massive! I love being able to see the brush strokes and what actually makes up the picture. So, from this newbie, it's an absolute vote for more art pieces please. :D

Dan Storm

Nani?! The return of Domme Lisbeth?

Max

My love for your art is a close second to my love for your storytelling. So I'd rather see more amazing comics than more breathtaking artpieces. BUT ! I am not a patreon to get those things, I am a patreon to support you. It's a priviliege to help you explore your creativity, the content is just cherry on top. You want to do the artpieces, or take a break for the hollydays ? You got my vote and then some ! Love from France

Roo

Even your single illustrations tell a story, and they are gorgeous pieces of art - I would love to see them brought fully to life.

Ada the Muscle Witch

Is it pretty? Is it shiny? Then do it, my friend! Make the world richer by finishing these ideas

Angerboda

Loving the Valkyries :)

Stephen Mumford

I'll be honest, i kinda want to see this one done specifically because I am very curious as to what Alan is wearing. The top is clear enough at this point, but I'm guessing the bottom is some sort of latex garter belt and stocking maybe? I think a number of us still kinda want to see him in something like that. :D

Throwcat2

That could be cool.

kneisna

I would prefer comics as usual. Your art is top notch, but your storytelling is what really touches my heart.

Desmond Auer

I for one would LOVE Hi-res finished work...the more thge merrier for both my Tablet and my wall, and when I have enough, I'll send them to you to sign... HEH.

Leak

Are you sure your tablet will survive two rides in the mail? :P

Arkadiusz Marcjanek

I'm ok either way. I curioous about pink haired girl with mecha, was she scrapped from the story? I kinda forgoth about her. Was she ever ment to be one of the Valkiries?

AliceDuffield

If it means giving you a month so that Letters to a vampire queen can become one of your stories then do it! I REALLY, REALLY want to see a vampire story from you. Wow!! How exciting would that be. But I really like the 47 other stories you’re trying to tell all at the same time… ;-). Also, your wife rocks!

Allan Bednar

True - I'm also really looking forward to Sheildmaidens and Woodborn... a lot!

Jeroen Brugman

I'm cool with you taking a break from comics and giving us some art. A new calendar would be nice as well.

Roy

Yes. All in for me

Patricia Bolen

You do you. I love your high res work. *Drools*

Antonio LB

Art is good with me.

Desmond Auer

I'd much rather have hi-res finished products that I can print on photographic paper (11" x 17")? so that I can decorate my mancave with lots of Sejic goodies!

Leon Ramirez

I'm in, but I still think that you can make a great artbook with "warm ups" or "unfinished" and would sell in seconds...
